'NEW' SS WREATHS, OLD ANTI-SEMITISM

The controversy over the Reagan visit to Bitburg is receding, no longer a front-page embarrassment. But do you hear an echo from the past?
I visited the cemetery the morning after President Reagan and Chancellor Helmut Kohl placed wreaths of reconciliation in front of its chapel. For years, the cemetery had been largely ignored; now, it was an instant shrine, a focus of political debate. Small flower pots marked many flat graves, 49 of them honoring Waffen SS troops. By the end of my visit, many hundreds of Germans and occasional Americans from the nearby Air Force base paused before the wreaths. Some took pictures. Mothers hushed children. A religious air seemed to saturate the scene.

Equal Restraints on Prosecution and Defense Are Inappropriate
Date: 15 May 1985
To the Editor: The proposition in Robert B. McKay's letter of May 3, urging that criminal cases be resolved in the courtrooms, not the press, is, taken by itself, unarguable. Decrying the tendency of adversaries to seek pretrial and trial publicity, the president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York properly notes the constitutional limitations on enforcing a policy of prior restraints on speech. However, by not distinguishing between the roles of prosecutor and defense counsel, he fails to recognize that equal restraints are inappropriate.

The Republican Party is predictably unwilling to let the dramatic shift in political allegiance of a prominent black Democratic official be celebrated exclusively in his home city of Detroit. William Lucas, the Wayne County executive who became a Republican a week ago, comes to Washington today to begin a two-day total publicity immersion that is designed to encourage further such Democratic defections around the country and to burnish his own political prospects as well.

CARETAKER AT ANOTHER THRIFT UNIT

A second Maryland savings and loan association was placed under the protection of a conservator tonight, and the Governor implored depositors statewide not to panic. At the same time, Gov. Harry R. Hughes disclosed that nearly 350 Federal bank examiners would be assigned to Maryland to attempt to identify collateral that state-chartered thrift institutions could use to borrow money. The examiners, who may start as soon as Tuesday, will also try to help thrift institutions obtain Federal deposit insurance, the Governor said, because depositor confidence has been shaken in the private corporation that provides insurance for 102 Maryland thrift units. He added that he hoped that the state's privately insured thrift units would be admitted to the Federal insurance program ''in a short time. By that I mean a period of days.''

Making the transition from four years as a collegian to the unpredictable pressures of surviving and thriving in the so-called ''real world'' is a challenge that thousands of graduates will face this spring. But no one's progress will be charted, monitored and critiqued more than that of Patrick Ewing, the 7-foot center whose commanding presence is expected to transform the Knicks into a championship contender. Will Ewing be ready for what lies ahead? Has the protective wing of his coach at Georgetown, John Thompson, hurt Ewing more than help him in terms of preparing for the pressures of being a ''franchise'' professional? ''What pressure's that?'' he said, flashing a wide, relaxed smile this afternoon at a news conference in a room on the university's sprawling, sun-splashed campus.
